The Wings lose a close one. San Jose is just bigger and stronger in the Wings zone. A little luck didn't hurt either. That equalizer had eyes - there was just about enough space between Hasek's pad and the goalpost for puck to squeeze through. I don't get the tripping call on Bertuzzi with 3 minutes to go. If that's a penalty, then the Sharks should've been called for exactly the same thing in the last minute when Datsyuk broke in. Anyway, it was a close game. The Wings now HAVE to have the next one, or it will be just about over.

I don't think Scotty could help Wings in this series. The Sharks are just bigger and stronger. Wings get stuck in their defensive zone too much and can't even clear the puck. At times it looks like Sharks have a powerplay. And Wings scoring chances are far and few in between because they are spending way too much time in their defensive end.

I'm not blaming Babcock for our troubles...but I believe Scotty somehow, some way figures a way to win this series.

I have some hope, but not much. If the Wings play the same way they played yesterday, I don't think they'd be able to win this series. They need to be more active and not have more than half of the game spent in their defensive end. They also need some offense, some shots on goal, some rebounds.
